Kundalini
Author: Krishna, Gopi
This is classic first-person
account of Gopi Krishna, an ordinary Indian householder
who, at the age of thirty-four, after years of
unsupervised meditation, suddenly experienced
the awakening of kundalini during his morning
practice. The story of this transformative experience,
and the author's struggle to find balance amid
a variety of powerful physiological and psychic
side effects, forms the core of the book. His
detailed descriptions of his dramatic inner experiences
and symptoms such as mood swings, eating disorders,
and agonizing sensations of heat - and of how,
with the help of his wife, he finally stabilized
at a higher level of consciousness - make this
one of the most valuable classics of spiritual
awakening available.

The Private Life of the
Brain
Author: Greenfield, Susan
In this groundbreaking new exploration,
celebrated neuroscientist and critically acclaimed
author Susan A. Greenfield takes readers deep
inside the human mind to reveal that emotions
are the very foundation upon which our brains
build unique minds out of our individual life
experiences. Dr. Greenfield affords readers a
brain-scientist's eye-view of the intricate dance
of emotions and cognitive abilities that gives
rise to consciousness and creates the sense of
a unique self that we all feel. Along the way,
she also provides fascinating answers to such
riddles as, "How do brains think?" "How
do anatomically identical brains give rise to
unique selves?" and "Why do some drugs
make us ecstatic while other make us miserable?"

Why God
Won't Go Away - Brain Science & the Biology
of Belief
Authors: Newberg, Andrew M.D., D'Aquili, Eugene
M.D., Ph.D. and Vince Rause
In Why God won't go away, Newberg
and d'Aquili document their pioneering explorations
in the field of neurotheology, an emerging discipline
dedicated to understanding the complex relationship
between spirituality and the brain. Along the
way, they delve into such essential questions
as whether humans are biologically compelled to
make myths; what is the evolutionary connection
between religious ecstasy and sexual orgasm; what
do near-death experiences reveal about the nature
of spiritual phenomena; and how does ritual create
its own neurological environment. As their journey
unfolds, Newberg and d'Aquili realize that a single,
overarching question lies at the heart of their
pursuit: Is religion merely a product of biology
or has the human brain been mysteriously endowed
with the unique capacity to reach and know God?
This fascinating eye-opening book dares to explore
both the miracle and the biology of our enduring
relationship with God.

The Feeling of what Happens
- Body and Emotion in the Making of
Consciousness
Author: Antonio Damasio
Widely praised for his innovative scientific
thinking and elegant writing, Antonio Damasio
achieves a new understanding of consciousness
by asking - and answering - profound questions:
How is it that we know what we know? How is
it that our conscious and private minds have
a sense of self? In this groundbreaking follow-up
to his landmark Descartes' Error, Damasio, a
gifted medical clinician with decades of caring
for patients with brain damage, explores the
biological roots of consciousness and its role
in survival. Linking body and emotion in an
arresting and original study of what it is to
be human, The Feeling of What Happens, as the
New York Times wrote, "will change your
experience of yourself."

The Seven Sins of Memory -
How the Mind Forgets and Remembers
Author: Daniel L. Schacter
In this intriguing study, Daniel L. Schacter
explores the memory miscues that occur in everyday
life: absent-mindedness, transience, blocking,
misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence.
Schacter illustrates these concepts with vivid
examples - case studies, literary excerpts,
experimental evidence, and accounts of highly
visible news events such as the O.J. Simpson
verdict, Bill Clinton's grand jury testimony,
and the search for the Oklahoma City bomber.
He also delves into striking new scientific
research, giving us a glimpse of the fascinating
neurology of memory. Together, the stories and
the scientific results provide a new look at
our brains and at what we more generally think
of as our minds.

Mind Wide Open - Your Brain and the
Neuroscience
Author: Steven Johnson
Using a mix of experiential reportage, personal
storytelling, and fresh scientific discovery,
Steven Johnson describes how the brain works
-- its chemicals, structures, and subroutines
-- and how these systems connect to the day-to-day
realities of individual lives. For a hundred
years, he says, many of us have assumed that
the most powerful route to self-knowledge took
the form of lying on a couch, talking about
our childhoods. The possibility entertained
in this book is that you can follow another
path, in which learning about the brain's mechanics
can widen one's self-awareness as powerfully
as any therapy or meditation or drug.
